Hopefully there is some kind of documentation on the fixes and updates to CFM for the 2017 version. I've still not gone on to using it due to the limit on number of fonts.
Would appreciate a link if available.

Are you fonts stored locally or on a network drive?
I personally have quite a lot of font folders selected in CFM, most of them stored on a NAS, and it makes font handling in Draw very slow. If I need better performance I use the filters in Draw's font list to show for example installed fonts only, and get a very noticeable speed boost.
FWIW, the Graphics Suite always uses Corel Font Service in the background, not matter if you choose to use CFM or not.CFM is basically a graphical interface, allowing you to choose what folders the suite will be able to select fonts from.If you open CFM and then set it to monitor a few folders only, then it will probably also perform much better.Or use the filters as mentioned above.
I have the font filters in Draw set to only see system and installed fonts and with the SP of 2017 there's no speed difference in Draw between the old FN days and now. I never allowed automatic font installation.
With that said I use CFM in the same manner as I did FN.
I NEVER ALLOW font embedding in my CDR files.
